Harvesting Watermelons

I am surprised that the two watermelon seeds I planted are doing so well. I have harvested three melons based on all the recommendations I found online. Look for a dried up spoon leaf. Check to make sure the tendril was very dried out. Thump it. Thump it again. Look for the creamy yellow spot on the bottom. I did it all, but none of my watermelons were ripe enough to enjoy. I feed them to the chickens, which is okay with me. Hopefully the next one I pick will be ripe and red and sweet.
